I think N'dru is solid, but open to feedback.

Drea is my concern. This is the third iteration of this list. It originally had a Transaction Veteran, but decided N'dru would be a better fit the first 60.

I originally had Drea with the BTL title. I found she didn't spend a lot of time shooting because she was out of arc more often than not. With her pilot ability, I figure BTL would work well. She gets two shots, two target lock rerolls, and two B11 forced rerolls. That's up to four stress per turn, but should always have a target lock to spare.

Thoughts on Drea's build?

Drea Renthal (22):

  • Plasma Torpedoes (3)
  • Extra Munitions (2)
  • Ion Cannon Turret (5)
  • Guidance Chips (0)
  • R4-B11 (3)

Total: 35 pts

Lose the title. Drea's blind spot must be covered when she's too stressed to turn around. You're not supposed to take arc-shots at R1 anyway.

Sucks that there's no room for Proton Torpedoes, though.

ICT gives you control, supporting N'Dru once he's out to hunt. Speaking of which, N'Dru might backfire on you once 120+ rounds come.

I hadn't thought about the 120+ points with N'dru. It'll have to plan more at deployment. Got any other suggestions other than N'dru?

I could run a pair of y wings. Drea and a jousting hired gun...

Honestly, I'd be tempted to drop R4-B11 from Drea on the first round and get Palob with TLT Wired/Zuckuss.

You can also upgrade Plasma to Proton and take either a naked Freelancer or a TLT Thug, no astromech.
